JACKSON, MI – The premiere of “Buzz TV Jackson,” a new Jackson-based variety show, has been delayed for the second time.

The 30-minute show, which is slated to air late Friday nights on WLAJ 53 in Lansing, was originally scheduled to debut on May 4. However, the premiere was pushed back until Friday due to a “minor legal issue,” organizers said via Facebook.

“We here at Buzz Tv are VERY sorry to announce that Buzz Tv will not air as scheduled this Friday. We are still in the process of dotting all of our i's & crossing our t's. Please be patient with us. We are in the process of creating a much bigger monster than we originally had planned! We assure you that it will definitley be worth the wait!! Thank you for all of your support & patience. Please stay tuned for further information to come on our actual debut!”

Rusty Whedon, who is in charge of the project, was not available for comment on Thursday.

The show’s website, buzztv53.com, is up and running. It lists Whedon as the executive president, in addition to an eight-person group making up the cast and crew.

Whedon has described the premise for the show as a cross between “Saturday Night Live” and “Entertainment Tonight.” It will feature original sketch comedy and footage from events and concerts from around south-central Michigan.
